I thought I would cover some of the games Clan Themes has covered in the phpnuke development stages.  This short little content section covers Americas Army Overview, Clan Database Links, PhpNuke Themes, PhpNuke Modules, and a few other things.

Americas Army Overview

America's Army provides civilians with an inside perspective and a virtual role in today's premier land force: the U.S. Army. The game is designed to provide an accurate portrayal of Soldier experiences.

The game is an entertaining way for young adults to be educated about the U.S. Army and see some of the career opportunities available to Soldiers in the U.S. Army — all this as a virtual Soldier. America's Army emphasizes teamwork, values and responsibility as means to achieving the goals.

Americas Army is a totally free game you can download the full version from americasarmy.com.  If you like action games this is a must try.  Its rated in the top 5 for PC games.  If you have a monster PC this game turns out some pretty decent graphics too.

Technical Notes

** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SERVER HOSTS/ADMINS **

NOTE: The cooperative missions will take significantly more CPU resources to run during normal gameplay due to the additional AI processing load (shared between the server & client). Server hosts planning to run Co-Op servers should plan accordingly. In addition, players running a Co-Op server and client on the same machine will experience heavy CPU demand.

It is recommended that server rotations switch only from Co-Op level to Co-Op level, or MP to MP level for best performance.
